skibum1087 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Climb: Guye Peak-South Gulley Date of Climb: 3/25/2006 Trip Report: Me and a friend climbed the South Gulley on Guye peak on Saturday, inspired by a trip report read here earlier. We got a late start and with a lot more sun than we expected the short approach to the bottom of the gulley involved a fair bit of postholing, but not enough to dampen spirits. The Destination Justin Approaching the bottom of the gulley Looking up from the base Some cool rock steps, but mostly snow making headway stoked at the summit Heavy clouds rolled in, but a pretty cool view looking across the other summits All in all it was a wicked fun day, and some awesome practice for running belays and whatnot. We descended our climbing route which was time consuming, but not to bad. With 2 50 meter ropes it would have been cake. We did 5 rappels and a bunch of downclimbing. Beat Dark by about 30 min, and got some amazing pizza in North Bend. Gear Notes: 50 meter rope, 4 pickets, a bunch of slings for trees, crampons, ice axe. Approach Notes: Snow Shoes on a warm sunny day for the bottom would have been nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cook Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Nice job! I thought the route was super fun. I descended the climbing route once and it was a bitch to do, but it was dark and we had no headlamps. Was the summit area very sketchy when it was soft?
